cofenster is a video software company founded in 2019 and based in Hamburg.
We believe seeing people over video creates empathy. For this reason, we have developed a tool so easy to use, it became the single point for companies to organize video communication, so employees can use self-made videos for everything they want to say. We call this the cofenster way of doing video.
Our cofenstis - this is how we call our team members - are passionate, curious and ambitious people from all over the world, working together to achieve one goal: to increase empathy in the workplace.
We have already made our way into companies such as Microsoft, Carlsberg and Beiersdorf. Now we want to bring the cofenster way of doing video to every company in Europe!
